Aunt flow arrived yesturday and the pain is bad - is it okay to take tylenol just before surgery. I read through my booklet and it dosent say anything about not taking tylenol just before, just want to be sure.

Thank you for your response - I am trying to survive without any. Its gonna be tough...I dont want to jeapordize my surgery date. On wed they took my blood to ensure that I am not taking things that could thin my blood and such...I am not familiar with tylenol...always been an advil girl, does tylenol thin the blood

Can't imagine why it would be an issue - it is not an NSAID and has no impact on blood, etc. Some docs (like mine) give Tylenol in the morning immediately pre-op to start the pain-killing process. I wouldn't worry about taking a couple of T's if it was me. Hope U R ok.
